Product Showcase - Ryzen processor
Product Showcase
Alright, it's time for some photos. We received the Ryzen 5 1400 processor. Once you have one in your hand you realize these are a little heavy. They should be with eight (physical) cores.
The Ryzen 5 1400 processor clocks in at a base-clock of 3.2 GHz, yet can Turbo to 3.4 GHz depending on load levels versus active threads; this four-core processor will be threaded to eight threads.
Given it's an 8-core architecture (with 4 cores disabled), AMD is really nicely managing that clock frequency. Not bad for 169 USD really.
For pure proper value we'd recommend that you match this CPU with a cheapo B350 motherboard really, that should cost you like € 100~120,- / USD. Such a combo would bring you tremendous value.
